Usually if I'm doing images for my web gallery I use 400 pixels on the long
side. So I scan at 768 x 512, which gives me plenty of room for cropping
and adjustment. I would like to use larger images, like 500-600ppi, but
with so few having fast connections, I hesitate. Also the higher the res
the greater the chance people will steal your images.
Then in pshop I save at the highest 'lo-quality' setting.
BTW there is a difference btw ppi and dpi. DPI has no relevance for
viewing, only for output. It's only the amount of pixels you scan that has
relevance.
If you happen to be using pshop 5.5, there is a utility that comes with it
for web optimization. It's a separate program, ImageReady or some such. I
took a look at it but it didn't seem to be worth the extra time.

Having returned the Olympus ES-10 and opted for the Nikon LS-30, I note an
immediate improvement in scan quality. Perhaps this is from better software
or hardware or both. In any event, I initially scanned my images at 1350
DPI only to have Adobe Photoshop balk when I attempt to use the "Save for
the Web" feature. The "Save for Web" feature optimizes JPEGs for the web.
I arbitrarily chose a DPI of 110 and had no further problems. I suspect
Photoshop couldn't digest an enormous file for web optimization.
What I'd like to hear from the group is your initial scan DPI setting, size
of image and optimization settings for JPEG web images.
